Letter: Quit jerking us around, TV stations

TV stations, lay off the teasers

Mary Savage of Manitowoc watches the television intently during an election night party.

EDITOR: Last week, during lunch, I was watching the Judge Mathis TV show. Mathis is always asked a question at the end of the show. Instead of giving the answer, Mathis said to go to his ".com" site for the answer. That's irritating! On both the local and network TV news shows, I'm also told to go to their ".com." The newspaper does the same.

In addition, it now seems that the network TV news shows are only promos for a new book or movie with lots of commercials!

I have sat through a slew of commercials on various network TV news shows because I was told "When we come back" something I'm interested in will be on. Well, when the news program comes back, what I'm interested in never seems to be mentioned. Then I must watch another set of commercials. Also very irritating!

I understand the difference between "teasers" and lies. Do these television stations?
